Ethiopia Girma Bekele CM ESPRESSO

this is a cup of excellence lot from girma bekele, grown in yirgacheffe, ethiopia, one of the most historically significant coffee-producing regions in the world. it's processed anaerobically, meaning the cherries ferment in a low-oxygen environment before drying, which drives the winey, jasmine, and floral character you'll find in the cup. roasted for espresso by passport specialty coffee, it's best pulled as a concentrated shot where those fermentation-forward flavors can come through with clarity. expect something fragrant and fruit-driven rather than a traditional dark, bitter espresso.
